Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

Piez's voice came through the instruments, but no further instructions were given.

Commanding top-tier operations requires exceptional dynamic vision and rapid speech, neither of which Pies possesses. Moreover, although the headquarters is receiving a live broadcast, the amount of information they can see is quite limited. The specifics of how to fight depend on the performance of the top-tier personnel present. Pies can only provide a general direction, such as "where to attack," rather than specific commands.

Will he follow us out?

"He will!"

—The first sentence was spoken by the Nephalem, and it was unclear who he was addressing. The second sentence was Darius's response. He chanted a few simple words, then cast a spell with his backhand. Golden lightning and blazing sparks roared and flashed, creating a spectacular visual effect.

The blow landed heavily on the giant zombie—although no one could see what was happening inside the thick fog, the sound could still be heard.

Darius's attack was truly ruthless. The giant zombie let out another terrifying roar, attempting to strike Darius. However, Darius had already run a considerable distance. The giant zombie seemed to lack a proper concept of "throwing," and didn't know how to dissect its own body to attack Darius. Seeing its enemy had run so far, and having attracted a great deal of hatred, it took a step forward. Amidst the rumbling of the earth, a giant zombie nearly twenty meters tall, with a grayish-white body covered in fleshy growths, burst out of the mist and charged towards Darius with an agility disproportionate to its size!

At that very moment, Ying Qin Guan raised his eyes... and slashed!

Chapter Forty: Good News and Bad News

Sometimes people will suddenly pat a part of their body.

For example, while doing something, you might suddenly slap your thigh or calf.

Why would they do that?

Usually, it's because of mosquitoes.

Sensing the mosquito, I instinctively reached out, trying to swat it away in one strike.

This is a very common action, but what if... this action happens to a 'zombie'?

Amidst the onlookers' cries of "What the hell is he doing?", the zombie giant roared and slapped itself hard across the face. The immense force sent it crashing to the ground.

I slap myself

This scene was so shocking that it would take a hundred years for everyone present to react; only the Nephalem could process it.

"It's a Consciousness Slash! Ying Qin Guan used a Consciousness Slash!"

Consciousness Slash!

Compared to Ying Qin's feat of instantly killing Darius, this one is less well-known. But aside from arrogant individuals like Eddard and a few others who are oblivious to the world's affairs, almost everyone else has heard of this fantastical technique. But who would have thought... it would work on giant zombies, and with such remarkable effectiveness?

Darius narrowed his eyes. He actually felt that the attack he had taken wasn't just a matter of consciousness slash... He was right; spacetime slicing was an upgraded version of consciousness slash, stronger, but less versatile and difficult to execute consecutively. Ying Qin Guan had used this move back then. Even without weapons, it was considered a fairly serious attack.

"sharp.."

Someone murmured, "These short-handed martial artists have never seen such a magical move, even more magical than a magician's, in the hands of a martial artist. If you didn't know the principle behind it, many people would probably believe it was an illusion attack from an ancestral alien race."

Some were amazed, while others quickly recovered and launched a surprise attack on the giant zombie that had already left the fog area.

The fastest of them all is the shadow.

This is clearly not a real name, but in this world, there are only wrong names, not wrong titles, and the meaning of the title "Shadow" is actually...

"When you finally see her, she'll have been in your shadow for a long time."

As she ran at full speed, Shadow flicked her wrist, pulling a sword from her sleeve. Ying Qin Guan thought that she and Yu Xie Tian might have something in common.

She rushed forward, enveloping her soft sword in her inner energy, and swiftly slashed across the giant zombie's back.

The muscles on the giant zombie's back were ripped open, and blood should have splattered out. But the liquid inside the giant zombie was incredibly thick; even with its body cut open like that, it only flowed out, not gushed out.

But that's irrelevant. What's important is that the giant zombie's spine is now exposed to the air.

When everyone saw the spine, their expressions changed slightly.

At headquarters, the researchers explained to them the characteristics of the spine that had been devoured by the Undying Worm. The most distinctive feature was that the spine created by the Undying Worm was grayish-black in color, while the spine in front of them was clearly a normal spine, just like that of an ordinary person.

This giant zombie was covered in strange tumors, and its blood vessels contained a thick, unidentified liquid. But its spine, strangely enough, was completely normal!

However, in such situations, the most normal things are often the most abnormal.

The Ten Commandments appeared beside the giant zombie at some point, raised the giant sword behind him, and slashed down with great force, aiming to break the giant zombie's spine in one blow!

The giant zombie roared and struggled to get up. Atoshe stood on the giant zombie's head, using his cultivation technique. The dark red stripes on his body lit up, turning into the color of magma. A three-meter-tall, six-armed demon god with a ferocious face appeared behind him. All six arms extended and pressed down on the giant zombie's head, burying it into the ground.

This move was pretty cool. Ying Qin Guan himself had never seen it before, let alone heard of it. He immediately started chatting with Kui, who was also striking a pose.

"Hey, let me test you. Guess what that move is called and what school of martial arts it comes from."

Kui remained expressionless and said, "I don't know."

"Hmph... I knew you wouldn't know."

Ying Qin Guan failed to get any information out of him and threw down a harsh remark. Somewhat worried that Kui would ask him, "Then tell me what this is?" So he rushed forward, intending to get an assist and see if he could steal a kill.

No wonder he was so relaxed... More than 70% of the world's top-tier experts were here. Even without Ying Qin Guan and Kui, any one of them could easily take on this giant zombie alone—as long as the zombie wasn't truly immortal.

In this situation, it's really too much to ask people like Ying Qin Guan and Kui to adopt a posture of being on high alert.

On the battlefield, the Ten Commandments swung their swords fiercely, and the huge spine was as fragile as paper under their blades, cut in two. Everyone saw the mystery within the spine.

Something was wrong with the spinal cord; it was filled with clumps of fleshy growths, just like the growths on the giant zombie's body. Surprisingly, this was the same thing inside its spine.

"It seems the answer is yet to come."

The martial artist named Liang Zhen remained expressionless as he plunged his calloused hands into the tumor and swung them forward with deadly force. His inner energy, sharp as a blade, precisely pierced through the remaining spine of the giant zombie.

The blade slashed down the spine to the head, reaching the brain, but there was nothing beyond the tumor along the spine. Then, as the blade continued its slash, it reached the cerebellum, where, where the cerebellum should have been, there was a man encased in a tumor.

Although Darius only glanced at it briefly, he was still a top-notch expert with exceptional eyesight. He recognized the man immediately and said in a deep voice, "It's that agent! We saw his photo at the research institute!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant zombie suddenly snapped its neck. The action was so sudden that Atosher didn't react for a moment and his control loosened slightly.

The next moment, the headless corpse raised its head and threw it far away. While it was in mid-air, countless fleshy buds rolled. Before the head even hit the ground, a complete giant zombie had already taken shape in mid-air.

After the headless corpse completed its final throw, its hands fell limply to the ground, and it fell silent.

"One good news, one bad news."

Nephalem was still thinking about his unfunny joke.

"The good news is we've confirmed its identity; the agent and the undead worm mother should both be in deep trouble. The bad news is..."

"The spine is no longer its fatal point."

Ying Qin Guan's figure swept past like the wind.

"You talk too much! Go after them!"

The shadow followed closely behind, a dark shadow flashing by.

"You man, all you can do is talk?"

Nephalem shrugged, tapped the button several times, and ran and flew, chasing after the giant zombie that had not yet landed with the others.

Chapter Forty-One: Yin Zhen and Tian Jie

"So fast..."

Chasing after Ying Qin Pass, Shadow was definitely the one who sensed this most clearly.

How could it be so fast? How could it be so fast?

Her own fighting style is one that prioritizes speed. Generally speaking, top-tier martial artists have an excessively high output, but lack speed. After clearing out the alien races and magical beasts, humanity began internal struggles, and fighting styles focused on attack power gradually disappeared, making speed a more important factor. The Shadow's style is an extremely extreme one... her attack power is so weak that it's about the same as that of an ordinary top-tier martial artist. For example, her attack range is about the same as that of a top-tier gray-haired man, roughly twenty meters.

Having paid such a high price, she naturally received a reward: unparalleled speed. Therefore, she was also known as "Little Wang Qiushui," undoubtedly a great honor, as Wang Qiushui was the freest person in the world, able to come and go as she pleased.

But now... she can't catch up with Ying Qin Guan.

too fast.

How could it be so fast?!

Before Shadow could form any further thoughts, Ying Qin Guan in front of him suddenly stopped and turned around.

The giant zombie hasn't landed yet, but if nothing unexpected happens... it will land where Ying Qin Pass is standing.

Ying Qin ran faster than the wind!

By the time Shadow realized this, it was already too late. She had been driven by a competitive spirit and had used all her strength during her sprint, leaving her no time to pay attention to the giant zombie. Therefore, she was not prepared to brake.

In other words, she couldn't stop herself.

Driving a supercar, you can floor the gas pedal to 280 km/h with just your feet, but stopping it safely within the allotted time is something even ten hands might not be able to do.

She was starting to panic; at this speed, she was afraid she'd crash headfirst into the opposite wall. While nothing serious would happen, it would be incredibly foolish...

But at this moment, there was no time to speak. She could only hurriedly wave her hand, hoping that Ying Qin Guan could lend a hand. After all, she was also a top-tier expert. As long as there was a little external assistance, she could easily stabilize herself.

Ying Qin Guan caught a glimpse of the woman rushing towards him, leaving a trail of dark afterimages behind her. She seemed to be in a hurry and waved at him, the meaning of which was unclear.

Ying Qin Guan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly noticed the soft sword in the other person's hand. He immediately realized that he had mentioned his fighting style when he fought Darius, and she knew that his style was the Void Time Exquisite Sword. Now that she saw that he was without a sword, she was in a hurry to give him one. No wonder she was chasing him so fiercely. Was she afraid that he couldn't deal with this giant zombie without a sword? This person looked cold and aloof, but she was actually quite kind.

With this thought in mind, Ying Qin Guan smiled and reached out his hand. When the other party saw this gesture, the expression on his face softened slightly, which further solidified Ying Qin Guan's guess.

As the two passed each other, Ying Qin Guan slightly shifted his body, intending to take the other's sword. But she was running quite fast, and didn't seem to be slowing down at all... Ying Qin Guan guessed that she might be chasing too fast and couldn't stop, and she was gripping the sword tightly in her hand, showing no intention of handing it over, perhaps because she was a little nervous.

Ying Qin Guan immediately struck her, snatching her sword away from her in shock, then turned away without looking back at her shadow.

No... I'm not watching anymore.

Miss Shadow even forgot to brake, turning her head in a daze, trying to figure out what the man behind her was thinking in that very brief moment.

You fucking... if you're so capable, why didn't you take the sword from my hand while I was running at that speed? You fucking, why didn't you stop for a second?

This grudge...

Before she could even hold a grudge, her body was carried away by inertia.

On the Yingqin Pass side, the giant zombie stretched out its body in mid-air, about to land.

Ying Qin Guan gripped the soft sword.

He didn't particularly like soft swords because they couldn't penetrate the Black Dragon Armor at all. Although he could enhance them with internal energy, how much internal energy could he afford to waste on a consumable item like a sword when facing over 1,300 Jue Tian soldiers?

Ironically, since that battle, Ying Qin Guan has wielded a sword twice, once from Yu Xie Tian and once from Shadow, and both times it was a soft sword.

However, Ying Qin Guan ultimately didn't use the Jade Heaven Sword. At the time, the sea was nearby, so drawing water from the ocean to forge the sword wasn't a problem. But at this moment, however, he had no choice but to use it.

If facing Himura Tan's sword, a soft sword is better than no sword at all. If facing Kui, a soft sword would put Ying Qin Guan at a disadvantage. But if facing this giant zombie...

"Actually, they're all pretty much the same."

Ying Qin drew his sword at the pass.
